IIRC Denver was offering 3 yrs 15 mil a yr. I'd take that


Broncos offered a 3 year $39 mil deal. Houston clearly outbid us.

Osweiler wasn't anything special in Denver. It was the Broncos defense that was winning those games. Or was the defense only good when Manning played QB? Osweiler will be as successful with the Texans as Matt Cassell was with the Chiefs.

that's kindof a starting QB insult these days. 17-18 mill a year starting is kind of the floor.

Denver proved last year they could win with a stiff back there. Some guys want money some guys want to win. Houston ain't winning shite so I guess we know where Brock stands.


Im no fan of Houston, but didnt they make the playoffs with a slew of shite stains at QB? Osweiler may be the piece they need.

They made the playoffs because their division is shite.

The jags are seriously improving and won't be easy doormats going forward. And the Colts should be better this coming year.

I've been screaming this for a while. Anything less than 16m means the team isn't really committing to you. People think the deals for players like Kaepernick, Tannehill, Cutler etc are huge, but they're actually average to low.

A few years ago I spotted the same thing with Matt Flynn, Seahawks only gave him 8m a year when the floor for QBs was more like 12-13m.

Another Broncos/Texan connection.

This one surprises me though. The Texans like good guys, not ones who shove women around.

You are 100% right. Im just saying, maybe he improves with O'Brien and adding a few more pieces I could see Houston being a contender with that defense.

So 3/45 vs 4/72.

Yea, that's why i was saying we need to see the detials before stating this was a bad decision on his part.

If that's the comparison, it's kind of a no brainer.
